Vision Australia chief executive officer Ron Hooten announced on Friday that the company would deliver its services in clients' homes or through regular monthly clinics within the community.
Although services such as education programs, eye tests and strategies to help people with low vision will continue to be available through monthly clinics and in homes, local radio services remain in limbo.
Local radio programs including the Eye Opener program as well as readings of the Shepparton News and other regional papers such as the Yarrawonga Chronicle, Kyabram Free Press and Cobram Courier could potentially disappear as the company has not secured a new outlet for its radio services.
Mr Hooton said because of the change of the delivery of services, the building along Channel Rd which houses the radio station would close in the near future.
“Vision Australia is investigating alternative options to keep this content on air, including producing it in an alternative local studio, or in another Vision Australia studio, and broadcasting through the local RPH frequency,” he said.
The local content may also have the possibility of moving to another community station, which has been successful for Warrnambool's Vision Australia Radio.
Mr Hooten said there would be no changes to regular national programming and people could continue to listen to Vision Australia Radio on 100.1FM.
